Unless otherwise required by exceptional and unforeseen circumstances related to the impact of the coronavirus, Cycling Canada will respect these published Internal Nomination Procedures (INP) as written. However, situations related to the coronavirus pandemic may arise that require this Internal Nomination Procedure to be modified. Any modifications will be made promptly and as often as required following developments that directly impact the Internal Nomination Procedure. In such circumstances, any modifications will be communicated to all affected individuals as soon as possible. Further, situations may arise that do not allow this Internal Nomination Procedure to be modified or applied as written due to time constraints or other exceptional and unforeseen circumstances. In such situations, any decision, including nomination decisions, will be made by the individual(s) with decision-making authority, as stated in this Internal Nomination Procedure, in consultation with the relevant individual(s) or committee(s) (as applicable), and in accordance with the stated performance objectives and selection philosophy and approach as stated herein. Should it be necessary to make any decision in this manner, Cycling Canada will communicate with all affected individuals as soon as possible. 1. INTRODUCTION The Games of the XXXII Olympiad have been postponed by one year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. They will be held in and around Tokyo, Japan, from July 23 to Aug. 8, 2021. As provided for in Clause 12 (Amendments and Unforeseen Circumstances), these criteria were amended on June 19, 2020, due to the postponement (see below). Cycling has been part of the Olympic program since the first modern Games in 1896, and Canada sent its first cycling delegation in 1908. Since then, 153 individuals have represented Canada in cycling events at the Olympic Games, winning a total of 14 medals. There will be 22 medal events in cycling in Tokyo: 4 road; 2 mountain bike; 2 BMX race; 2 BMX freestyle; and 12 track. The purpose of this Internal Nomination Policy (INP) is to set out the process and criteria that will be used by Cycling Canada to select athletes to the Tokyo Olympic Games team. The primary objective of the selection policy and procedures is to select the maximum number of medal potential athletes for the Tokyo Games. The secondary objective is to provide Olympic competition opportunities for athletes identified as on a trajectory for future Olympic Games as part of Cycling Canada’s high performance program. In addition, there are specific performance objectives within each cycling sport outlined below. Amendments on June 15, 2020 A range of factors have led to these amendments, including: • The Tokyo Olympic Games have been postponed by one year due to COVID-19 pandemic • All domestic and international racing and rankings were suspended in early March, 2020 Page 3 of 22 2021-01-13 Olympic selection criteria FINAL.docx Amended Cycling Canada Tokyo Olympic Selection Criteria • Qualification by nations is complete for road and track; Canada has qualified the following starters: o Road women: 2 athletes (2 RR, 2 TT) o Road men: 3 athletes (3 RR, 1 TT) o Track endurance women: 5 athletes (4 TP, 1 OM) o Track endurance men: 4 athletes (4 TP, 2 MA) o Track sprint women: 2 athletes (2 SP, 2 KE) o Track sprint men: 2 athletes (2 SP, 2 KE) • Qualification by nations is not complete for mountain bike, BMX Race or BMX Freestyle; according to the amended qualification processes published by the UCI: o MTB qualification will include the Olympic ranking up to March 3, 2020 plus: § 2 World Cups in 2021 (dates and locations TBD) § Note: Canada’s projected quota (2 women, 1 man) is unlikely to change o BMX Race qualification will include the Olympic ranking up to March 3, 2020 plus: § The 2020 World Championships (Houston USA; currently postponed, date TBD) § 2 World Cup weekends in 2021 (dates and locations TBD) § Note: Canada’s projected quota (1 woman, 1 man) is at risk and requires athletes to continue earning points o BMX Freestyle qualification will include the Olympic ranking up to March 3, 2020, plus: § 2 World Cups in 2021 (dates and locations TBD) § Note: Canada is not projected to qualify any BMX Freestyle spots • Cycling Canada has already selected the starters for the road events, with the exception of one male athlete and male alternate(s) (see below) • Cycling Canada has already selected the starters for the track events • Cycling Canada has not yet selected the starters for the mountain bike and BMX events • Some international racing will resume in 2020, but ongoing calendar changes are expected due to the pandemic • Return to training and competition will vary by country and region • It is not known when it will be possible to resume international travel • It is not known what quarantine or other health requirements may be in place when travel resumes When drafting these amendments, Cycling Canada adopted the following principles: • Athletes’ health remains the top priority • Cycling Canada seeks to avoid creating undue incentives for athletes to resume competition in 2020 • As a consequence, other than in men’s road, no events taking place between March 3, 2020, and the end of 2020 will be considered for selection • In men’s road, athletes are subject to their professional team contracts and Cycling Canada’s position on Olympic selection will have little to no influence on their decision to resume competition in 2020 • Athletes who have already been selected will remain selected, subject to the Performance Readiness clause of this document (Clause 9) • New athletes may only be selected to events for which selection is complete for the following reasons only: o To replace athletes who withdraw or are removed from the team; or o As additional alternates • For the remaining spots, selection will consider performances at events that have already taken place that were part of the published

  • Boosting Women's Participation in Bicycling Through Adult Bicycle Skills
    Getting from here to there: Boosting women’s participation in bicycling through adult bicycle skills training by Stephanie Sersli M.A., York University, 2009 B.A. (Hons.), Simon Fraser University, 2003 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctor of Philosophy Program Faculty of Health Sciences © Stephanie Sersli 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Declaration of Committee Name: Stephanie Sersli Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Thesis title: Getting from here to there: Boosting women’s participation in bicycling through adult bicycle skills training Committee: Chair: David Whitehurst Associate Professor, Health Sciences Meghan Winters Supervisor Associate Professor, Health Sciences Maya Gislason Committee Member Assistant Professor, Health Sciences Nicholas Scott Committee Member Associate Professor, Sociology and Anthropology Tiffany Myrdahl Muller Examiner Senior Lecturer, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Susan Handy External Examiner Professor, Environmental Science and Policy University of California at Davis ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Increasing bicycling in cities is a public health and sustainability goal. Although supportive infrastructure is a necessary precondition for most people to begin riding, other forms of encouragement are also needed to spur uptake across populations. Women are an important target group as they participate in bicycling at roughly one-third the rate of men. While much is known on the importance of a safe, dense, and well- connected bikeway network, there are knowledge gaps on ‘soft’ interventions related to training or education.

  • Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada
    Cycling: Supporting Economic Growth in Canada Prepared by Vélo Canada Bikes for the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance pre-budget consultations Submitted August 3rd, 2018 1 Investing in cycling and active transportation: Supporting economic growth in Canada Recommendations for the Government of Canada In collaboration with provincial and territorial governments, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Assembly of First Nations and additional stakeholders, implement the following recommendations: Recommendation #1: Develop a funding stream designed to rapidly increase the development and improvement of active transportation infrastructure and related traffic calming in all Canadian municipalities and in rural areas. Recommendation #2: Establish a national-level forum to consult, share, and develop a plan for moving more people and goods by bicycle in a wide variety of Canadian settings including urban, rural and remote communities. Recommendation #3: Direct Statistics Canada to collect data that will ensure the adequate and appropriate monitoring and reporting of the prevalence, potential and safety of cycling in Canadian municipalities. Use this data to set achievable evidence-based five- and ten-year transportation mode share targets for cycling. 2 Investment in bicycling represents a vastly underexploited opportunity for economic growth in Canada. If more Canadians were able to safely use a bicycle for daily transportation, there would be significant economic benefits including: a boost to economic productivity from a healthier and more productive workforce; improved mobility and personal savings for Canadians; disadvantaged groups could more easily gain skills and access employment opportunities and there would be an increase in business and tourism revenues. Increased cycling would also help to counter the negative economic costs that motorized vehicles impose on society in the form of congestion; road casualties; physical inactivity and poor health; pollution; and the political and environmental costs of maintaining fossil fuel supplies.

  • Albert Schelstraete- Coulier
    ALBERT SCHELSTRAETE- COULIER INDUCTED 2017 The Canadian Cycling Hall of Fame is pleased to welcome Albert Schelstraete-Coulier as an inductee for 2017 in the Builder category for his lifetime of devotion to the development and promotion of cycling in Canada. At the national level Albert served as President of the Canadian Wheelman’s Association (the predecessor national governing body for cycling in Canada to the Canadian Cycling Association – now called Cycling Canada) from 1952 to 1957 then again from 1972 to 1974. At that same time he served as Canada’s representative to the Pan American Cycling Federation (COPACI) and led the Canadian cycling delegation at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. He had an amateur and professional career which included being named the outstanding Canadian cyclist in 1940. His later racing days included several medal winning performances at masters racing events across North American and Europe including gold medal performances at World Masters Championships and World Seniors Games. At the local level Albert spent a lifetime organizing and running races both on the road and on the track. He founded the Norfolk Cycling Club in 1939 and it still exists today as the Silver Spokes Cycling Club With all of the above accomplishments you would wonder what else he found time to be involved in and that begins another part of the story. He was the only Canadian designer, builder and race promoter of velodromes from 1948 to 1975 and was the key contributor to six-day bike racing for that period and more. In the history of six-day bicycle racing in Canada there is one person who has transcended the decades from the Golden Era of the 1930's to the first decade of the 21st century.
